The last weekend of August delivers us some big time fantasy options as we look to cash in on FanDuel. For tonight, all 30 Major League Baseball clubs are in action including some big time matchups including the St. Louis Cardinals traveling out to San Francisco to take on the Giants.

Along with that matchup tonight a few of the other key matchups we like include the Detroit Tigers heading to Toronto to take on the Blue Jays while the Baltimore Orioles travel to Texas to take on the Rangers. All four of these clubs can produce big time fantasy numbers, add in the ability to hit in a hitters ball park makes those rosters our key focus point.

Outside of those four teams tonight also features a stellar list of top of the rotation starters who could easily carry any fantasy team. The list includes the Clayton Kershaw for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Max Scherzer for the Washington Nationals, Matt Harvey for the New York Mets, Sonny Gray for the Oakland A’s, Cole Hamels for the Texas Rangers as well as Michael Wacha for the ST. Louis Cardinals.

The only one of those we are leaning towards not using is Hamels as he will face a Orioles team that is capable of hitting the long ball.

Here is our complete MLB FanDuel lineup for Friday August, 28^th, 2015.

Starting Pitcher – Matt Harvey ($11,000): While we liked the idea of using Kershaw but elected to save a few dollars going with the Mets starter. That being said Harvey has turned in five straight double digit fantasy performances.

Option 2 – Clayton Kershaw ($13,000) & Option 3 – Masahiro Tanaka ($9,200)

Catcher – Alex Avila ($2,200): The Tigers catcher is a perfect cheap option behind the plate to save us a few dollars. That being said monitor the lineups as they are posted but nonetheless Avila has five hits in 14 at bats against R.A. Dickey in his career.

Option 2 – Russell Martin ($2,500) & Option 3 – Jonathan Lucroy ($3,200)

First Base – Jose Abreu ($4,100): Our top option is Miguel Cabrera tonight at the Roger Centre. The downside is we also wanted to use his teammate Ian Kinsler against the Blue Jays. In the end we settled for Abreu who is riding an eight game hitting streak including five doubles, two home runs and eight runs batted in.

Option 2 – Miguel Cabrera ($5,500) & Option 3 – Eric Hosmer ($3,500)

Second Base – Ian Kinsler ($4,200): Kinsler was an easy option based on his past success against the Blue Jays starter. In his career Kinsler is six for 16 in his career off of Dickey with two home runs.

Option 2 – Jonathan Schoop ($2,600) & Option 3 – Scooter Gennett ($2,200)

Third Base – Todd Frazier ($2,900): We were looking for a power bat at third base that also fit under the $3,000 target. That landed us with the Cincinnati Reds third baseman tonight against the Milwuakee Brewers at Miller Park.

Option 2 – Josh Donaldson ($6,000) & Option 3 – Kyle Seager ($3,100)

Short Stop – Jean Segura ($2,500): Segura is always a solid FanDuel bargain including when the Brewers have a chance to play in the hitters friendly ball park. Segura has four multi hit games over his last ten.

Option 2 – Troy Tulowitzki ($3,900) & Option 3 – Jimmy Rollins ($2,700)

Outfielder – Andre Ethier ($2,300): Ethier should continue to get starts after the Dodgers were dealt another injury blow to Yasiel Puig. Add in the fact Ethier is nine for 27 in his career against Jason Hammel with two home runs.

Outfielder – Austin Jackson ($2,500): The Seattle Mariners outfielder is another solid option tonight based on his past success against John Danks. Jackson is 23 for 52 off the White Sox starter with six extra base hits including three home runs as well as 12 runs batted in.

Outfielder – Shin-Soo Choo ($3,200): One thing for sure is the fact the Orioles are struggling that includes on the mound. This opens up the option for a few Rangers to be a key play tonight. Choo is riding six hits over his last 14 at bats with a pair of runs batted in and runs scored.

Option 4 – Nelson Cruz ($5,000), Option 5 – Carlos Gonzalez ($3,800) and Option 6 – Mark Trumbo ($2,800)

The weekend fun is just around the corner but that won’t stop us from having some fun on FanDuel! The only downside of playing FanDuel tonight is the lack of Major League Baseball games taking place around the country. In all only six games are in action limiting us both at the plate as well on the mound.

For us we are starting our FanDuel lineup out tomorrow night with David Wright for the New York Mets. Wright who recently returned from the disabled list has had some solid success against Aaron Harang who will be taking the mound for the Philadelphia Phillies.

In his career, Wright is batting .433 in 30 career at bats against Harang with five extra base hits including a home run to go with eight runs batted in. Since returning from the disabled list, Wright is two for nine with a home run, walk and three runs batted in.

The next move we debated is which Major League starter do we want anchoring the rotation for us? The options include Carlos Martinez for the St. Louis Cardinals, and Gerrit Cole for the Pittsburgh Pirates as the top two options. One concern we fear with using either one of those starters is the high percentage of FanDuel owners that will elect to use each of them.

Here is the MLB FanDuel Lineup as well as options  for Thursday August 27^th, 2015.

Starting Pitcher – Gerrit Cole ($10,000): Earlier this season many had them as the favorite to take home the National League Cy Young. For us all we need him to do is pitch like that against the Miami Marlins. Cole has seven double digit fantasy performances over his last ten outings.

Option 2 – Drew Smyly ($7,400) & Option 3 – Joe Ross ($8,100)

Catcher – Carlos Ruiz ($2,300): Ruiz is a perfect fantasy option at the catcher position. The Philadelphia Phillies catcher is riding a four game hitting streak that features a pair of runs batted in as well as two doubles. Overall Ruiz is 11 for 32 for his career off of Jon Niese with four extra base hits.

Option 2 – Yadier Molina ($2,700) & Option 3 – Wilson Ramos ($2,800)

First Base – Ryan Zimmerman ($3,400): We debated both Zimmerman as well as Paul Goldschmidt. In the end we went with the cheaper alternative who has put together back to back games with at least five fantasy points.

Option 2 – Paul Goldschmidt ($4,600) & Option 3 – Joe Mauer ($2,500)

Second Base – Daniel Murphy ($4,200): Murphy may be a little more expensive than many would like at this slot. That being said the Mets second baseman is hitting .346 in nearly 30 career at bats off of Harang with six extra base hits.

Option 2 – Robinson Cano ($3,800) & Option 3 – Danny Espinos ($2,900)

Third Base – David Wright ($3,600): As we stated up above Wright was the starting point for our FanDuel MLB Lineup this Thursday. Wright will also be coming off a day off something that could additionally help his production.

Option 2 – Trevor Plouffe ($2,900) & Option 3 – Kyle Seager ($3,100)

Short Stop – Eduardo Escobar ($2,600): Looking for somewhat of a FanDuel bargain landed us with the Minnesota Twins second short stop. Escobar has six hits over his last four games including three doubles, one home run and four runs batted in.

Option 2 – Trea Turner ($2,600) & Option 3 – Jung-ho Kang ($3,600)

Outfielder – Brandon Moss ($2,200): If you are looking to cash in on a GPP tournament than a player like Moss could be the option. The Cardinals outfielder has the power to hit one out any night of the week. The downside has been ability to produce for most of the 2015 season. This play only works for us as it provides us with some solid salary cap flexibility.

Outfielder – Mark Trumbo ($2,800): Trumbo is another solid option for Thursday as he entered Wednesday riding in eight straight game. In that stretch, Trumbo picked up three home runs to go with six runs driven in.

Jason Heyward ($3,800): Looking to fill out our FanDuel MLB lineup we elected to go with another member of the Cardinals outfield. This time it is Heyward who we selected coming off six hits over his last four games including hitting his 11^th home run of the season.

Option 4 – Matt Kemp ($3,900), Option 5 – Trayce Thompson ($3,000) & Option 6 – Stephen Piscotty ($3,300)

The start of a new FanDuel MLB week is here as we approach the first week of the regular NFL season. For now our eyes are still all in on the baseball action as we focus on looking at the best lineups available each day as well as a few options for each position.

That being said tonight FanDuel owners have a solid nine game lineup to build from including a New York Mets verse Philadelphia Phillies matchup that many will have their eyes on. That’s because the Mets will send out one of their top starters in Jacob deGrom who is eyeing his 13^th win of the 2015 Major League Baseball season.

Outside of deGrom, the top tier options are thin or should we say sure bet fantasy picks. The second starter based on salary is Jeff Samardzija for the Chicago White Sox who will be taking the mound against the Boston Red Sox. Other solid options include Hisashi Iwakuma for the Seattle Mariner and Lance Lynn for the St. Louis Cardinals.

For us we are sticking with deGrom who has turned in seven straight games with double digit fantasy numbers. Here is our complete FanDuel lineup with options for each position.

Starting Pitcher – Jacob deGrom ($11,700): deGrom is really only the top option tonight so we expect many fantasy owners to look to cash in with him. That being said going with a FanDuel bargain such as Buck Farmer against the Cincinnati Reds or Joe Kelly against the White Sox are more suited to help you cash in big on a GPP.

Option 2 – Buck Farmer ($4,500) & Option 3 – Lance Lynn ($8,900)

Catcher – Yadier Molina ($2,400): Molina has shown a little signs of his bat and power coming back to him. The Cardinals catcher has picked up two home runs as well as nine runs batted in over his last ten games.

Option 2 – Salvador Perez ($2,400) & Option 3 – Victor Martinez ($2,800)

First Base – Eric Hosmer ($3,600): We had a few different players we could have used at first base including his teammate Kendrys Morales. In the end Hosmer is hitting .346 in nearly 30 career at bats against Ubalado Jimenez with a pair of home runs.

Option 2 – Kendrys Morales ($3,000) & Option 3 – Miguel Cabrera ($5,400)

Second Base – Stephen Drew ($2,200): Needing another FanDuel sleeper landed us with the New York Yankees second baseman. Drew has put up a few big FanDuel performances over the last month including a 12.75 performance back on August 13^th, 2015.

Option 2 – DJ LeMahieu ($2,900) & Option 3 – Jonathan Schoop ($2,400)

Third Base – Pablo Sandoval ($2,300): The Red Sox third baseman was a easy play for us as he has picked up four hits off of Samardzija in ten at bats with two home runs. Sandoval is currently riding a six game hitting streak that includes four doubles with three runs scored.

Option 2 – Nolan Arenado ($4,200) & Todd Frazier ($2,900)

Short Stop – Jhonny Peralta ($2,300): Sticking with FanDuel sleepers at the short stop position landed us with the Cardinals short stop. Peralta is riding a six game hitting streak while picking up at least a hit in nine of his last ten contests.

Option 2 – Jose Reyes ($3,000) & Option 3 – Jung-ho Kang ($3,700)

Outfielder – Coco Crisp ($2,400): While we don’t like Crisp’s overall numbers against the Mariners starter he does have two career home runs off of Iwakuma. Crisp was also swinging a hot bat entering Saturday including three straight multi hit performances.

Outfielder – Carlos Gonzalez ($4,000): Gonzo is well worth the value coming in riding a four game hitting streak that includes two home runs, two runs driven in and four runs scored.

Outfielder – Yoenis Cespedes ($4,000): We thought about going cheaper at the last outfield spot and using Nelson Cruz in place of Gonzo. If you like that move go that route if not, Cespedes had been hot including a 28 point fantasy performance just a few games ago.

Option 4 – Adam Jones ($3,600), Option 5 – Lorenzo Cain ($3,700) & Option 6 – Nelson Cruz ($5,000)
